Choice Hotels Relaunches Park Inn by Radisson

During its 68th Annual Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) announced the relaunch of Park Inn by Radisson. As part of the strategy with Choice's acquisition of Radisson Hotels Americas in 2022, Park Inn by Radisson is being strategically repositioned into the premium value conversion space. Park Inn by Radisson will deliver on an unmet need tailored to the growing demographic of younger, value-conscious travelers.

"The relaunch of Park Inn by Radisson into the premium value conversion space underscores our commitment to delivering an unparalleled guest experience, inspired by the simplicity and vibrant energy of parks," said Cathy Hartman, vice president, brand strategy, Choice Hotels. "The brand has been built around a promise to brighten up every stay with a refreshing blend of color, connectivity, and convenience."

Park Inn by Radisson will cater to a new generation of experience-centered travelers in a way that's affordable for guests and simple for owners to deliver. Park Inn by Radisson will offer guests the 'brighter basics' through:

• Bright welcome with pops of color and friendly service
• Clean, crisp white bedding and 100% smoke-free hotels
• Connected with fast Wi-Fi and plenty of places to charge devices
• Convenient grab & go breakfast items with fresh hot coffee to start the day

"Park Inn by Radisson presents an exciting opportunity for our current and future hotel owners to tap into Choice's best-in-class conversion capabilities, proprietary tools, and dedicated support needed to thrive in this competitive landscape," said Tom Nee, senior vice president, foundation development, Choice Hotels. "We have already awarded our first contract for the relaunched brand in San Antonio, Texas, and interest in joining the brand is very high. We believe there is meaningful runway for this brand, with the potential to expand domestically in the next several years."

With Radisson Hotels Americas now part of the Choice Hotels family of brands, the company offers best-in-class franchisee support and full access to Choice's powerful global reservation channels, leading to improved digital traffic, bookings, and lowered OTA fees.

Similar to Park Inn by Radisson's four open domestic properties, the relaunched brand will continue to participate in Choice Privileges, the award-winning rewards program where members earn points on eligible charges during their stay which can be redeemed for reward nights at more than 7,000 Choice-branded hotels. Members can also earn points through two co-brand credit cards – the Choice Privileges Select Mastercard and Choice Privileges Mastercard. Both offer cardholders more ways to accelerate the amount of Choice Privileges points they earn while staying at participating Choice Hotels and on everyday spending including for gas, groceries and home goods.
